1. Module I CTSE 503: Teaching & Learning in Urban Schools
Presented by: Kristi Soong
2. Classroom:Hoover Street Elementary, 5th Grade bi-lingual class
3. Data Collection: Direct Observation
Actually seeing a situation or behavior Teacher
Question & answer sessions
4. Rationale: Direct observation allows one to see activities occurring
Speaking with the teacher gives more insight to the class and environment as a whole
5. Evidence: Through Observation Instances that occurred while observing Jennifer
Sat in the back row very quietly
Never associated with others, even during group activities
Her Social Studies group ignored her
While practicing for a dance routine, 4 of the 5 girls practiced together, while Jennifer practiced in the corner by herself
Any suggestion from Jennifer was ignored
6. Observed Evidence continued: Jennifer never raised her hand during class
Never called on
Math group activity with 3 boys
Ended up crying and putting her head dow
Never has the appropriate books
No journal, no “Too Good For Drugs” book
7. Conversations with Teacher: “Just Shy”
Kind of “Withdrawn socially from the other children”
Not very confident with her English
Never prepared for class
8. Problem: Jennifer has a lack of self confidence and social skills inhibiting her from excelling in her classroom
Resulting in her being shy and withdrawn from the rest of the class
9. Shy & Withdrawn Children: “SHY”
Inhibited, lacking confidence and socially anxious
“WITHDRAWN”
Unresponsive, uncommunicative, daydreaming
Symptoms can include:
Inhibition and discomfort in the presence of others
Exaggerated self-concern
Increasingly negative self concept/self-efficacy
10. Theoretical Framework: Social Cognitive Theory
“People are viewed as self organizing, self-reflecting and self-regulating rather then as reactive organisms”
11. Bandura’s (1986) Conception of Reciprocal Determinism a) Personal factors in form of cognition, affect & biological event, b) Behavior and c) Environmental influences create interactions that result in triadic reciprocality
